Typical Fiber SFP Transceiver and Dual-LC Cable
Use standard fiber optic wiring techniques (not covered by this manual) to make your
connections. The corresponding LED will be ON solid or flashing when you have made a
proper connection.
Duplex
Operation
The RJ45 ports will auto-sense for Full or Half duplex operation, while the fiber ports default to
full duplex operation or can be configured for Full or Half duplex. Refer to the software user
manual for details on the software configuration options.
Verifying
Connectivity
After all Ethernet and/or fiber connections are made, check the LED’s corresponding to the
ports that each of the devices are connected to. Ensure that for each port that is in use, the
LED is on or blinking. If a port LED is off, go back and check for connectivity problems
between that port and the network device connected to that particular port.
Console Port
Management
The switch can be software configured via the DB9M (DB9 male) RS232 console ports.
There is one of these ports located on each of the front and back of the switch. See the
images below. This manual only details on how to connect to this port. Refer to the
software manual for details on how to configure the switch via this port.
